Description

Susan Lenox (Her Fall and Rise) (MGM, 1931). German A0
(37.75" X 56").
An excellent opportunity for collectors, Heritage is thrilled to
offer their first ever poster from this Greta Garbo picture,
especially a poster with such a beautiful illustration! Based on
the eponymous novel by David Graham Phillips, Garbo stars in this
Cinderella tale gone wrong with Clark Gable, in one of his very
first major leading roles. Produced one year before two of her most
famous roles in Mata Hari and the Oscar-winning Grand
Hotel, this film cemented Garbo's continuing popularity after
the star's transition into the talkies. An exquisite stone litho
illustration of the film's two leads, this poster has undergone
restoration to address a slight vertical crease and extra
horizontal fold towards the bottom, some mild vertical tears in the
upper horizontal fold, a tear from the bottom border into the
background, and a vertical tear near Garbo's face. There has been
touchup applied to the folds and some color touchup near "Gable" in
the lower right blue background. Notable features in this lovely
German poster include a Reichstag mark in the upper left corner and
the gold metallic printing used in Garbo's name, which catches the
eye but also shows a bit more wear than the rest of the printing.
Very Fine- on Linen.
